She backpacked all over the EU. He hiked all over Washington state.
Together they converted 1/3 of their large home into a separate space, blending the values of hospitality AND privacy.
Private Guest Entrance with keypad for flexibility (for early check in, contact us). Private bathroom with 2-person sized shower. Clean, comfy room, self-serve breakfast, fridge, microwave, etc! Easy direct drive from I-5 to our quiet spot for business travelers, couples, golfing buddies or concert go-ers.

The Loft is up 1 flight of stairs (there are no stair gates, so this space may not be suitable for some children). There is a queen Sleep Number bed ("What's Your Sleep Number?"). The Loft also features a work table/sitting area, tv/vcr with Roku (Netflix, Crackle, youtube, etc.), classic & family movies, exercise tapes & a yoga mat, a plush rug that is great for floor exercises, painted curtains by the PNW Artist Jennifer Rod, and seasonal fresh flowers from the garden.
Downstairs from The Loft is the garage, where Guests will find a full size fridge, a microwave, the self-serve breakfast makings, as well as exercise equipment. The exercise equipment includes a Nordictrack recumbent bike, a PRO-FORM treadmill, free weights, and a MARCY Fitness Stack Home Gym. Children must be supervised in the garage at ALL times, and are not allowed to use the gym equipment.
The table for working, board games, or eating, can seat 3 people. For Guests who need a second bed (for small families of 3), we have a full sized air mattress that can be set up.
In good weather, there are pleasant seating areas outside, including the Angel Bear Garden in the back, and the grape pergola breakfasting area directly in front of the Private Guest Entrance.
Our outdoor spaces are 420-friendly, and smoking/vaping are allowed only outdoors. Our friendly pets would love to meet you in either the front or back gardens (1 cat, 1 medium sized dog); but we can also coordinate with notice from you to avoid meeting the dog if you prefer to relax in the back garden on your own. (Herding our cat outdoors, as well as the other kitties who live in the neighborhood, well... not so much! :-})

We are in a quiet family neighborhood a little over 2 miles from Chambers Creek Regional Park and Chambers Bay Golf Course.
The McChord AFB Main & Family Gates are an easy ~20-25 minute drive from us (Joint Base Lewis McChord, or JBLM).
A 15-25 minute drive will take you all over Tacoma:
University of Puget Sound, Tacoma Community College, Pierce College, and UWTacoma,
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium,
the Tacoma Dome,
LeMay's America's Car Museum,
the Tacoma Museum and Theatre districts,
as well as Tinkertopia!
We're an easy 10-15 minute walk to bus stops, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Safeway grocery, a pharmacy (Rite Aid), banks (BECU, Keybank), and a few restaurants (standard fare: Applebee's, El Toro, Teriyaki Wok 2; exceptional: GyroZone, Grassi's Ristorante) & a couple fast food places;
~15-20 minute walk to University Place Plaza (Library, Whole Foods, other shops) which can also take you through the small but lovely Heritage Park.
Chambers Creek Regional Park is a 930-acre site which includes 2+ miles of saltwater shoreline, 2.5 miles of urban creek & canyon, with amazingly beautiful mountain and Puget Sound views. We enjoy walking on the beach, the public trails, or North Meadow, and taking our dog to the off-leash run to relax and watch the kites at the Central Meadow. The award-winning Environmental Services Building is very interesting, and many visitors play golf or dine at the Chambers Bay Golf course, which was host to the 2015 US Open.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the loft. Jim and Tamaya are fantastic people who love to visit with you. The amenities are great, especially the home made muffins.

Amazing hosts! Such attention to details and they made you feel so welcome. Great breakfast and snacks. Bed was amazing. Was able to work from home during the day. They make you feel like family. Private in-law apartment without the kitchen. Very clean. Washer and dryer in the suite.

Cozy, private clean loft room with a very comfortable bed, not too hard, not too soft, with flannel sheets which I LOVE. Hosts were very welcoming but not intrusive.

Jeanna2017-06-03T00:00:00Z

I loved staying at Jim & Tamaya's loft. I've never stayed at a better hotel for the price. I'd definitely rent it again when I visit the Olympics/ Hoh rainforest. The pin door lock made it very convenient for a late check-in & early check out. I liked the sleep # bed and the sheets were sooo soft! I didn't even notice the gym but it's a cool addition.

The house is located is a quiet, safe neighborhood surrounded with lots of trees. The room is clean, well-maintained. Breakfast is provided, cereals, bread, boiled eggs, coffee, tea, Juice, fruit, yogurt.
Wireless internet is available.

Quiet area with good sidewalks for walking, especially to Chambers Bay for a good hike.

Enjoyed our time in the home! Would stay there again! Great spot with multiple rooms for up to 6 guests! 40+ mins to SEATAC, which isn't bad if you're in a bind and need a place for a family to sleep comfortably.

Darryl2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Great location in university place. Easy access to all things Tacoma related. Hosts are kind and welcoming.

David & Katrina2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Greg and Lily did a great job of welcoming us into their home and provided a clean and comfortable bed. Greg fixed us a large breakfast with lots of fresh fruit and juice choices along with eggs and oatmeal. They even let us take over their large television to watch a basketball playoff game. A perfect balance of helpfulness and privacy. I would recommend staying here to anyone that is looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay near Tacoma. Jolene

Jolene2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay with Lily and Greg! Their home is beautiful and very clean. Bathroom is nice and right across the hall. The room is well laid-out and good in size (pics don't do it justice). They also have the fastest internet I've ever seen. Lily and Greg are terrific hosts, very friendly and attentive to our needs. Greg laid out a wonderful breakfast spread each morning. Would definitely recommend their home to anyone traveling around Tacoma!

Needing a place to crash without a bit of fuss? But want somewhere nice and not so grungy or in a noisy, sketchy area? I'm an avid solo traveler myself and a bit sketched out at using hostels, afraid of bed bugs or waking up next to a weirdo. I transformed my sun room into a "surf shack" to remind me of home. In the summer its super hot but cool at night. In the winter, its quite cold and can put on a heater out there for you. Enjoy a beer on me, a homemade latte in the morning.

The surf shack is an addition to my home. I have other listings within my home. If you are not comfortable with sleeping on a hammock, I also have a brand new wheeled out cot. I have lots fans and can open the French doors or have lots of cozy blankets for those cool, to cold winter days (and a heater). Its a simple room and at night the solar lights turn on and turns off after a few hours.
You have access to a shared bathroom (you may have your own bathroom if there are no other Airbnb guests accommodating my home -- their rooms are upstairs, away from the surf shack)

My home is quite peaceful as my neighbors are mostly retired and love that they don't hear much, if anything at all. The house is sort of secluded so you can mostly just hear birds outside chirping.

Thank you for checking out our comfortable and beautiful space! This is not an airbnb traditional listing as it is not an overnight accommodation. This is simply a comfortable space to relax, regroup, trouble shoot travel snafus, charge devices, prepare a home cooked meal, and wait for the next step in your travel plans. We are conveniently located directly across the street from a 24 hr full service grocery store and many restaurants, both fast food and sit down. We can't wait to meet you!

This is the lower floor of our home and a living room that is not frequently used as all of the residence prefer to remain upstairs in their spacious bedrooms most days. Parking is directly in front of the home and we expect you to make yourself at home while with us. I do want to reiterate that this is not an overnight accommodation. If you are having trouble with your booking space or flight arrangements, we can only host you within a 2-23 hr period and unfortunately cannot allow you to remain overnight. There will be no exceptions and we apologize ahead of time. Please message me before booking your accommodation if you have any questions!
The deposit is not charged up front. That is a fee leveraged if you damage any of the home goods while hanging out at our place. This includes, but is not limited to damaged (or missing) cookware, cooking surfaces, dishes, furniture surfaces, home decor, electronics, technical accessories, washing facilities, and carpet. You will need to sign an internet usage agreement as well upon arrival. This is to ensure legal usage of wifi services.

This is a VERY nice neighborhood and just about a mile or so from the premier golf course and other outdoor beauties. We're also only about 3 miles or so from the 24hr Walmart.

The story so far:
She backpacked all over the EU. He hiked all over Washington state.
Together they converted 1/3 of their large home into a separate space, blending their values of hospitality AND privacy.
Private Guest Entrance with keypad for flexibility (for early check in, contact us). Private bathroom. Clean, comfy rooms, self-serve breakfast, fridge, microwave, etc! Easy direct drive from I-5 to our quiet spot for business travelers, couples, golfing buddies or concert go-ers.

The Guest Wing is a separate section of the main house, with a locked door between, near the laundry. The Loft, The Garden View Room, and the private bathroom all have locking doors. There are NO gates on the stairs up to & down from The Loft, so our Listing may not be suitable for some children.
We reserve our driveway solely for the use of our guests.
Guests also have a private door leading to the back garden.
There is a small common area, with a Gateleg table and chairs, coffee & tea supplies upon entering the space. You will also find a drawer of postcards & other supplies for your use in this table. This is across from the laundry. To the right you will find the garage (gym, fridge, microwave, self-serve breakfast area).
The exercise equipment includes a Nordictrack recumbent bike, a PRO-FORM treadmill, free weights, and a MARCY Fitness Stack Home Gym.
Children are NOT allowed to use the gym equipment and must be supervised in the garage at all times, please.
Guests LOVE our beds: The Loft, upstairs, has a queen sized Sleep Number bed ("What's your sleep number?"), and The Garden View Room, our ground floor room, has a very comfortable firm full sized bed & a comfy rocking chair.
For groups who need to sleep 6, we have an air mattress.
The Loft also features a work table/sitting area (can accommodate up to 6 people), tv/vcr with Roku (Netflix, Crackle, youtube, etc.), classic & family movies, exercise tapes & a yoga mat, and a plush rug that is great for floor exercises.
In good weather, there are pleasant seating areas outside, including the Angel Bear Garden in the back, and the grape pergola breakfasting area directly in front of the Private Guest Entrance. Smoking is allowed only in these outdoor areas, and we are a 420-friendly accommodation. Please ask us for ashtrays.
There are picnic blankets available for your use in fine weather (but, please give us notice, so we can keep our sweet & friendly dog from inviting herself to your picnic - haha!)…
Our pets would love to meet you in either the front or back gardens (1 cat, 1 medium sized dog); but we can also coordinate with notice from you to avoid meeting the dog if you prefer to relax in the back garden on your own. While friendly, our cat is less easy to herd, not to mention the other kitties that live in the neighborhood :-}

What a wonderful stay we had with Jim and Tamaya. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Tamaya went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Lots of little touches that were appreciated. Lovely goodies to snack on upon arrival. We will be back!

Chris2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

My family and I loved our stay at The Guest Wing! Tamaya and Jim our wonderful hosts. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The place was super clean yet very comfortable. Tamaya even made us delicious muffins for breakfast and homemade candy! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

April2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

I only wish I could give more than 5 stars! Jim and Tamaya are two of the most amazing people I have ever met and the most gracious hosts! They took such great care of us and always made sure we had everything they need. The walk through and explanation of the home and surrounding area was detailed and very helpful! I would only be so lucky if everyone I stayed with was as great as these two!

Zachariah2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

So happy we stayed here! We travelled from Alberta with my daughter for a dance competition, and wanted to stay near the venue. From the moment we requested to book, Tamaya and Jim were so fantastic and thoughtful. Very clear communication, despite some glitches with messages going through Airbnb. Tamaya is such a delight! Honestly, such a lovely person, who didn't hesitate to help us out when we mistakenly ordered and picked up uncooked pizza ( we thought we were getting cooked!) and needed to feed a very hungry little dancer. She jumped into action and generously cooked our pizzas for us! Very clean and cozy space. My daughter loved the pets, especially Butters the kitty:) We will absolutely return again next year ( or sooner, if my daughter has her way!) Thank you so much Tamaya and Jim! You made our stay so memorable ❤️

Nina2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful treat to stay at The Guest Wing in University Place. The hosts Jim & Tamaya are bar none one of the best hosts around. Our stay felt more like a bed & breakfast than just a room rental. They were the perfect hosts. They were quick to respond to any inquiries. Check in was super easy. They were attentive without being intrusive. They made sure our stay was comfortable & enjoyable. The place is very clean & we had fresh towels daily. Jim & Tamaya provided coffee, tea & fresh baked homemade goods. The bedrooms each accommodated a full/queen size bed & an air mattress (for our 3 kids). They have a beautiful large picturesque back yard where one can relax & read a book or if you prefer, play badminton. We all had a great time & would definitely come back.

Clarissa 2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Such a great place to stay!!! Family friendly and a home away from home. Tamaya makes goodies for every morning (GF for me), washes and gives you clean towels daily, refills the coffee/tea waters so you always have fresh, there's even a washer/dryer with soap and dryer sheets, such a great hostess! If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere where you can feel a little spoiled this is for you! Minutes from Chamber's Bay (such a beautiful walk at night) and located in the best neighborhood that the area has to offer. My kids enjoyed Jim and Tamaya's laberdoodle so much and we drank coffee in the back yard each morning!

Lovely and quiet neighborhood. Large, clean and well appointed space. All nicely organized and efficient. I would stay again.

James2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

The first thing you should do when you check in is sit on the couches. They're life changing. Besides that, this space is very large and comfortable. The beds are indeed super soft, and the mix of supportive and soft pillows on the bed is very nice. Everything in the bathroom was very clean and well stocked. The house and yard are absolutely gorgeous, especially the back yard. I would highly recommend taking a little time to check out their back yard out. Something to be aware of with this listing is that the owners do live upstairs, and there's basically a door blocking the stairs up to their house. They're not intrusive at all, and if you run into them they're super friendly. You can occasionally hear them moving around upstairs, but we were basically always able to ignore them.

Andrew2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Very clean, stylish, and large basement apartment. Beds were super comfortable, the couch was like cozying up on a pillow, and the whole place was spotless. She left juice and milk and coffee for us, and made check-in and out easy. The home is in a neighborhood close to a Whole Foods that was cute and safe, and about 10-15 min from Tacoma attractions.

Jade2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

The house was very clean in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Nicely decorated. Exactly as described. Beds are comfortable. It served our purpose to stay overnight on our way to Portland. If you stay longer and want to cook it does not really have a kitchen but you could warm prepared food or make something very simple as mac and cheese out of the box or oatmeal. There is Keurig machine. As far as another B part of B&B, coffee was provided and 2 bags of chips were the basket.

Shane2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

The accommodation and description is exactly as represented except for the living area. With its couches and huge comfy chairs, it was much bigger than I had pictured! The hosts are honest about there being the possibility of some noise above as it is a basement apartment. Lots of hot water for showers. Easy, prompt and pleasant communication. Good wifi connection. We drove a short distance to a restaurant on the waterfront which was very pleasant. We only stayed one night but it worked well for our needs.

Enjoy a number of amenities to make this cozy cottage feel like home away from home...
- Cathedral ceiling in kitchenette
- Portable electric fireplace
- Large refrigerator
- Microwave
- Toaster oven
- Hot plate

This space is in a quiet neighborhood on a well-lit street. There is plenty of parking in front of the house that is also well-lit. The neighbors are friendly and respectful.

Heather made us feel very welcome. She is the definition of how Airbnb should be. The home was clean comfortable. She was was gracious and helpful. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly and safe for our family of 4. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants a warm and cozy cottage with touch of home feeling:-)

Perfect place to live in! Heather is just a wonderful warm-heat kind person. And they solved lots of problems with us before we checked in. It's just been a wonderful journey and if I'll be back in Tacoma next time, definitely I'll chose Heather's cottage!

Yan 2017-01-25T00:00:00Z

We will definitely use Cozy Cottage again.

The girls and I loved Heather and her place! It was immaculate-clean, quiet and comfortable. Great location that was close to our event in University Place. It was thoughtfully equipped with everything that we could possibly need. Heather's communication with me prior to check-in was outstanding and she had the sofa bed set up and ready when we got there. Much appreciated! We all hope to stay here again.

David2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

What a CUTE place!! Heather was an absolute delight to communicate with from beginning to end! The place was immaculately clean, and very well appointed with very nice bedding and towels and everything you need in a kitchenette. It has two separate rooms yo sleep in so it was perfect for me and my dad to have our own spaces. I slept like a baby there as it was so quiet too. I highly recommend this little cottage, and would definitely stay there again. Thank you Heather! You're an excellent host and a kind, sweet, and wonderful person. :))

Beautiful views from the front rooms and a sumptuous bed to dream upon. Kitchen, laundry and bathroom with shower.

Memory Lane is located on the beautiful Puget Sound, located one mile from Chambers Bay Golf Course, home of the 2015 US Open Golf Tournament.

As you sit in the back yard or are looking out the window, experience the natural beauty of the Puget Sound, notice the Olympic Mountains in the distance. During the spring, sit outside and listen to symphony of the frogs, delight in the smell of salt water, in the fall the chorus of crickets. Tacoma is the home of The Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum and the LeMay-America's Car Museum. Be sure to visit Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. Great restaurants abound in Tacoma and we will be happy to make recommendations based on your personal tastes.

What an amazing find! It was more than we expected with a beautiful view of the sound :) Shannon was so friendly and very accomadating - loved working with her! We were only able to stay one night and can't wait to return!

Everything you could need and want! Highly recommend.

Would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Tacoma or UP area. The place offered amazing views, privacy, and nice amenities. It's good for a weekend getaway and has a very relaxed atmosphere

We arrived at Shannon's house late, she was very understanding of our schedule. The entrance to the apartment is private and perfect. The space was grand and very inviting. But oh man...that view!! We had a wonderful one night stay, and would most definitely stay there again.

Nice and clean, plenty warm, great beds, beautiful view

This was my first time using Airbnb. Upon arrival, the family was there enjoying the sunny afternoon. I had to call to locate the lockbox as it was well hidden, as it should. Shannon was friendly and the residence had a welcome feeling. The place was private and comfy. The views were breath taking beautiful and the place was clean. There were 2 spacious rooms that allowed 2 couples plenty of space to share without feeling cramped. We only stayed one night but I would absolutely go back here if I need to stay in the Tacoma/University place area. The price, location and space was perfect! Thank you for hosting us. Denise

My husband and I truly created wonderful memories while visiting here for four days in February. We stayed in the upstairs apartment. The home is beautiful inside and out. Shannon has a flair for decorating. The apartment is spacious and private. The backyard is inviting and a delightful spot to relax. It was wonderful waking up to the amazing view of the Puget Sound. Both Shannon and her husband were friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and one to remember!

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. We were blown away. Very well equipped, spacious, spotlessly clean and so comfortable. The view was magnificent. The trains thundering past took a bit of getting used to!

Cozy home in desirable University Place. Great city & neighborhood! 40 miles S of Seattle. This cute 1950s home has 1100 sq ft of space w/ 3 bedrooms, office, living room & kitchen. Hardwood floors, new paint, & recently updated bathroom consistent w/ the 1950s character of the home. Huge backyard is great for lounging w/ charcoal bbq. Washer & dryer in garage. Close to Whole foods, Trader Joes, Chambers Golf Course, Ruston Way, great restaurants & the charming towns of Steilacoom & Fircrest.

This home displays its 1950s era charm in decor and architecture. Huge windows bring plenty of natural light. Big private backyard withcharcoal bbq. It sits on a quiet street with little traffic but is so close to great amenities! A 5 minute walk gets you coffee at Cutters. There are nail salons and others shops within walking distance. The grocery stores are a few minute drive and the best in the area...Harbor Greens (wine, sandwiches, and pizza too), Trader Joe's and Whole foods. Lefty' s burgers, Boathouse Grill, Subway, and Grassi's are minutes away. A few minute drive to Titlow beach and Chambers bay golf course (Home of 2015 US Open). 10-15 minute drive to Point Defiance Park and zoo.

Lovely quiet residential neighborhood but only minutes to coffee, stores and restaurants. Even a nail salon at the end of the street.

Everything from beginning to end was so easy and wonderful. Such a quaint little house! We would definitely recommend it to friend and families!

Visiting Tacoma for a possible relocation. The house is in a nice, very quiet suburb but 15 minutes from everywhere. Safeway, Whole Foods, Walgreens, and a number of restaurants close by for convenience. The house is very cool and 1950s with A/C which was a life saver as it was in the 90s the whole trip. Stacy was awesome and replied quickly whenever I had any questions. Will certainly stay here again on future trips.

Raymond2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Will definitely stay here again whenever I'm in town. We were able to check in late after a concert at the Dome and Stacy gave us an extra hour to our check-our time. Quiet neighborhood. Great space. Clean and enough beds to sleep multiple people comfortably. I only wish I had more time to utilize the spacious backyard. Thank you again Stacy!

Agnes2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Stacy was very kind and check in was very smooth!

Brandon2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

This is our second time staying at Stacy's place in UP. We felt fortunate it was available, and wish it was available for longer. That it's consistently booked speaks to the convenience, value, and demand for that style of property in Tacoma.

Aaron and Tammy2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

This place is a great location! I rented this house for 3 nights with my wife and toddler. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. This place was perfectly located for us because with a toddler, we were able to visit the Defiance Zoo & Aquarium near by. The overall feel to the house was warm and fun. I would highly recommend this house. The best part about the experience was the host, Stacey. She was very nice, understanding, and very easy to communicate with. Thank you!

Ryan2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Stacy's house is exactly as advertised. It's quiet and clean and only a short distance from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the marina - we walked to Cutters Point Coffee each morning. Since she doesn't live in the house, we didn't get a chance to meet Stacy, but there really was no need. She had everything ready when we arrived, and she answered all of our questions promptly.

You’ll love my place because of large living room and large 1 bedroom with personal entrance, day light basement, pet friendly, fully furnished, small kitchenette microwave, full size fridge,toaster oven,one burner, (shared stove upstairs.) off street parking.

Tao2015-06-16T00:00:00Z

Sd answer all my email with in a couple of minutes. We arrived in to the house there was a welcoming package and it was so beautiful. The house view was breath taking and it was beautiful. There were some white stains on the carpet and also the white carpet was dirty but we were out all day as we were there for swimming competition . We were mainly in the house after 9 pm and leave at 630 Am.

Sefilina2016-03-23T00:00:00Z

Really nice neighbourhood not too far from PLU as we were travelling as an a cappella group to Tacoma. Property was as described and well furnished - host also provided snacks and Keurig. Only issue was no Wi-fi information provided anywhere in the home - instructions would have been useful. When we texted the owner, they did not reply so we were unable to sort that out during our one night stay. Otherwise, recommend.

Jessica2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

A wonderfully, beautiful view in a stellar home. It was a great place to stay and a central location to the areas we visited! The joy of that view made our day several times. Issues we had were emediately dealt with. A great stay!

Robert 2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Every thing is wonderful

Tonya2017-05-11T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous Property. Enough room for a whole family and a little more. Very clean and comfortable beds. 10/10 would stay again.

Jaypee2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

This is a spacious house to stay in for our party of 8 with 2 babies and the view is spectacular. There's a lot of winding roads with tons of round abouts so having a GPS definitely helped getting here. The drive way had enough room to park 4 cars and there's also street parking. Inside, the kitchen is spacious if you wanted to cook a few meals as well as a BBQ available on the patio. The applicances are new and easy to use. The television with Apple TV is also simple to use in the main living room. There is a master bedroom upstairs with a bathroom. A room on the main floor with a half bathroom (only have toilet and sink). Then there are 2 rooms downstairs with another bathroom attached to one of the rooms. The house is huge and spaced our nicely as we didn't wake each other up with the crying babies. This was the first time the owner had airbnb renters so there are just a few things to improve on. Communication - it was hard to get a hold of her and many times I had to email a few times to get answers. I was also told that the door code would be provided to me the day before arrival. She didn't update me and I was a little nervous that we didn't have a place to stay. I emailed her around 4AM the day of and received a note saying they were trying to install the door key code and will provide to me when I arrive. I told her I was to arrive between 3:00-3:30pm. The house wasn't ready when we first got there at 3:30PM so we had to go out for an hour. That's fine, we went to go eat first, but these kind of things should have been taken care of the day before. Carpet - I am appreciative that the carpets were cleaned/shampooed before our group got there, but it was done way too close to our check in time. One of the rooms in the basement was sopping wet. However, the owner left a note, portable heater and slippers for the issue. I again appreciate the effort, but wished this was done days earlier to avoid the wet carpets. I do want to mention that the owner was flexible in the check out time, as we were allowed to check out in the afternoon instead of morning. Thanks! Even there were some set backs, the owner was great and the house was a wonderful stay.

Amy2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

We were all pleased with our stay here. Sd was very good about accommodating all of us and the communication before we arrived was excellent. The house had nice views and was clean. Our host left us some beverages and a little basket of chocolates, which was a nice gesture. We were attending an evening wedding and wanted to have an early check-in and that was allowed also, which we really appreciated! Overall this was a great choice and a good value. The only drawback was that with a larger group there was only a half bath (no shower) on the main floor. The beds were also a bit small for our tall family. We survived it of course, and despite that little drawback, I would recommend this house.
